The Saimaa ringed seal is highly #endangered . Facing an uncertain future due to threats like #climatechange and net fishing, they will disappear from this earth if we dont take action to help save them.😔 If we don't tackle this problem now, the seal, along with many other magnificent #wildlife will no longer have a suitable living environment.
Time to treat our 🌎 better.

“Without the #forest , it’s hard for me to live.” Khensy Milatid used to see rattan as just a plant. “We didn’t see much value in it; we would chop it down and collect stumps for food.” But Milatid’s view of forests in Laos changed when he was introduced to Forest Stewardship Council (#FSC ) certification.
He realized he could make a good livelihood from the forest – harvesting and weaving rattan for export to markets that want products from well-managed forests – while also conserving it for his future generations. #FSCGA2017
